Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, I get crashes at completely random times, and I get the occasional freeze whenever I'm loading some Flash application. I was hoping updates would get rid of it eventually, but even after going to 5.0, I still get them. FF used to be so reliable for me.  | ||

The only major difference is that it needs you to input a 20 character long password inside a certain file when first installed, nothing too complicated. You should give it a try. | ||

It is by no means the same. Until NoScript is released from the original author himself, and with the full functionality/security provided by the original FF extension, it should never be considered an equivalent. I'm currently watching this thread, and suggest anyone interested keep it bookmarked: http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6332 The NoScript author's last response, on June 9th, suggests that with the experimental API's there may be a "NoScript Lite", but again, by no means is this an equivalent extension to the full-featured FF original.

Ever since FF4, it seems like any flash related site has a 1/4 chance of crashing my firefox, it's driving me mad. Only back in like firefox 2 or something. Streaming sites seemed to be particularly problematic. The issue had to do with CPU use a bit too, I think (problamtic for older CPUs). I'm pretty sure firefox 3 was fine on my old computer, and certainly has been very fine on my new computer. I didn't have much issues with 4, but I also didn't use it as much as 3. | ||

Firefox 6 has 2 changes that I cannot stand and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix them (google search didn't do much for me). 1) It now highlights the website name on the address bar. for example "teamliquid.net". However, this is fucking annoying because I use a dark theme and the rest of the bar is unreadable unless I highlight it. I cannot use firefox without this theme. It is perfect (NASA Night launch) and I hate pretty much every other theme. Is there a way to disable this new feature? 2)Added "Unsorted Bookmarks" tab at the bottom of my bookmarks. Also really annoying because now it reaches the bottom of the screen and it's just painful to look at... a minor inconvenience but it takes the same amount of place as 2 links and I sometimes add random pages and remove them later for easier access. I never add enough links to cause me to have to scroll through them though. I have also not found a way to remove this. I hate Mozilla. They ALWAYS downgrade their product. Firefox 5 I was finally getting used to (after using an add-on to have a status bar and moving the icons back to their normal places) but now they decide to fuck it up again. Oh, and apparently (from google searches), FF6 uses more memory than FF5 (I didn't do any tests but it does indeed look higher than normal at the moment for me; maybe just a coincidence). Anyway, anyone know how to fix these problems? Otherwise I will permanently downgrade to FF5 I think. | ||

I think safari does this too but I'm on a PC. If Firefox or IE ever implement this to their url bars then I will seriously consider them as legitimate options. | ||

Ah, I have every form of auto-complete or anything related to that turned off, even the url bar only shows my current url and erases itself. I live alone, it's not for what you think  . I just like having it organized and I don't like having FF saving my history or searches. | ||

Not to mention, firefox can have the most screen estate efficient layout possible. Chrome can probably do this too, I guess? Anyway this is a SS of my firefox (click to enlarge): ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/kQSt7.png) You can't really get any more efficient than that -- I love it. | ||
